In Canada he’d be walking free among us.

Federal Court hearings set to begin about repatriating ISIS Murder Cultists from Syria

A Federal Court is slated to begin two days of hearings Monday into the Liberal government’s refusal to repatriate 19 Canadian women and children who are being held in northeastern Syria.

Family members for the six women and 13 children are expected to argue that the government’s refusal to help them, as well as some Canadian men, amounts to a breach of the Charter of Rights and Freedoms.

They are not victims.

They willingly renounced Canada and joined a murder cult.

They have no right to be repatriated unless it means a bullet in the head on arrival.

As the inquiry into the federal government’s decision to use the Emergencies Act during the ‘Freedom Convoy’ protests nears the finish line, a new survey has found that two in three Canadians say they support, at least to some degree, the invocation of the Act.

Of the respondents, 48 per cent said they support the use of the Emergencies Act, while 18 per cent said they somewhat support the decision.

Ukraine carries out deepest strikes in Russian territory since war began

Ukraine carried out its deepest strikes inside Russian territory to date in an apparent bid to disrupt the Kremlin’s bombing campaign against energy infrastructure.

Three people were killed and six injured on Monday after a fuel tanker exploded at the Dyagilevo airfield near the city of Ryazan, southeast of Moscow, Russia’s state-owned RIA Novosti news agency reported.

Unofficial Russian social media channels reported that four aircraft were also damaged.

Canadian families will pay $1,065 more for groceries in 2023 … and The Bank Of Canada To Raise Interest Rates In Time For Christmas

HALIFAX – Canadians won’t escape food inflation any time soon.

Food prices in Canada will continue to escalate in the new year, with grocery costs forecast to rise up to seven per cent in 2023, new research predicts.

For a family of four, the total annual grocery bill is expected to be $16,288 — $1,065 more than it was this year, the 13th edition of Canada’s Food Price Report released Monday said.

Forecasters split on how high Bank of Canada will push next rate hike

The Bank of Canada is expected to cap its tumultuous year with another interest-rate increase this week, although private-sector forecasters are split on how big the bank will go as it appears to be approaching a turning point for monetary policy.

Central bank Governor Tiff Macklem has been clear over the past month that he’s not done raising borrowing costs for Canadians. But he has started arguing that the bank needs to balance the risk of doing too little to fight inflation against the risk of doing too much and crashing the economy.

In a tweet on Sunday, Nicholas Sandmann, now 20, questioned whether there were any ‘hidden Twitter files’ on the death threats he received following the incident in 2019.

‘As I’m watching this all play out, I’m wondering if @elonmusk has any hidden twitter files relating to what went on here,’ Sandmann said on Twitter Sunday. ‘Let’s be clear: under the watch of @vijaya they allowed these illegal threats when I was 16 years old.’

Veterans’ cases raise fresh concerns about expanding assisted dying law

OTTAWA — Revelations that some Canadian veterans have been offered medically assisted deaths while seeking help from the federal government are adding to worries about Ottawa’s plans to expand such procedures to include mental-health injuries and illnesses.

Veterans’ organizations are instead calling on Ottawa to increase access to mental-health services for former service members, which includes addressing the long wait times that many are forced to endure when applying for assistance.

Russian war crimes draft resolution being circulated at the UN

A draft resolution is circulating at the United Nations in New York for a Nuremberg-style tribunal to hold the Russian leadership accountable for crimes of aggression in Ukraine amid signs that US opposition to the proposal may be softening in the face of lobbying by the Ukrainian president, Volodymyr Zelenskiy.

Beth Van Schaack, the US ambassador for global criminal justice, said this week: “It’s something that President Zelenskiy cares deeply about. This is something Ukraine wants, and I think that’s going to carry a lot of weight. The question is, will they have the votes at the general assembly?”

The health system is bad now. It’s going to get a lot worse — and here’s why

Anyone sitting in a hospital waiting room for hours on end, hoping for an ambulance that may never come or watching their local hospital close the ER may reasonably wonder how Canadian health care could possibly get worse.

While these problems dominate the media and the minds of Canadians, something much worse is headed our way. The pandemic’s impact was bad but the relatively glacial crisis caused by Canada’s aging population could cause deeper disruptions.

Iran ramping up murder, kidnapping attempts in the US, Canada, and Europe – report

“These hostile [Iranian] activities and foreign interference undermine the security of Canada and Canadians, as well as our democratic values and sovereignty,” said a spokesperson from Canada’s intelligence agency.

Iran is ramping up its crackdowns on dissidents, including political activists and journalists, living abroad, and recruiting third-party criminals for assassination attempts against Iranian and Israeli nationals in Europe and North America, according to a Washington Post report.

The Post report comes on the heels of a recent warning to Iranians in the UK from the country’s MI5 intelligence agency. MI5 told dissidents that Iranian agents and paid criminals acting on their behalf were attempting to kidnap and kill critics of the regime living in London and other British localities.

In an interview with the French television station TF1 following his state visit to the US, Mr Macron said his Russian counterpart remains worried about Nato expansion and this needs to be addressed as part of negotiations to end the war in Ukraine.

Parents of murdered Idaho student Kaylee Goncalves say two victims’ ‘means of death don’t match’

The way two of the four University of Idaho students were killed Nov. 13, “don’t match,” parents of slain student Kaylee Goncalves contend.

“I’ll cut to the chase – their means of death don’t match.” Kaylee’s father, Steven Goncalves, told Fox News on Saturday.

The grieving dad was pressed if he was referring to his daughter and her best friend, Madison Mogen, who was sleeping in the the same bed as Goncalves when the horrific attack occurred.

More uncertainty.
